From the outside Redhead Lounge may look like another boutique, just another place to shop, but inside there is much more to see. Not only do the ladies of Redhead Lounge care about fashion and making you look fabulous but they have their city and helping others in mind. Erin Skalde, the owner of Redhead Lounge was a prominent voice in bringing the Main Street Program to Ivanhoe Village. The program is part of the National Trust for historic preservation and focuses on bringing revitalization and prosperity to downtown and neighborhood business districts. She has approached the city with ideas about making this district safer for pedestrians, paving sidewalks and even keeps curb appeal in front of her own business to deter parking along the side of the road where there will soon be bike racks and a sidewalk. Skalde has truly taken the district into her own hands and proven you cannot wait for something to happen you have to get up and do something about it. Redhead Lounge works hand in hand with United Way and other local businesses collecting donations monthly for High Lite My Life, a local organization helping women build confidence and find jobs. The boutique also makes it a point to donate to local organizations to help raise funds such as Flashes of Hope, the Orlando Ballet, Easter Seals and Dress for Success. Redhead Lounge is bringing a new meaning to Shopping Local and is serving Indie straight up. They continuously show their support for local artists and designers. Inside the Lounge you will find art by Orlando’s own Parker Sketch, Donna Dowless, and Kayla Prommersberger. In August they will be searching for local designers who are pushing the envelope in fashion to compete in their ‘shop local buy indie’ designer challenge. The ladies of Redhead Lounge are determined to not let any talk of the economy get in their way. With some local media it’s hard to get around the negativity. We as a community should be coming together to support one another not stepping on each other clawing our way to the top. Enjoy the time you have with your family, and a lesson you can learn from Skalde, follow your dream and use your successes to give back to others and the community, spread your feel good energy and the world would be a better place!
